Tiger Tips

Have you ever been curious of what to do if you are being followed, or how to be safe in a parking lot at night? University of the Pacific's Tiger Tips program can give you answers to those questions. Tiger Tips is a safety campaign that was launched by the University in October 2011. The safety initiative was a joint effort between the Office of the President, Public Safety, and Marketing and University Communications.

The idea of Tiger Tips is to make safety messages more appealing to a student audience, while also featuring tips that are useful in a day-to-day setting. The campaign featured student-made videos, posters, and chalk art designs to allow students a wide array of viewing options.
